Hi forum,
I successfully loaded Arduplane HIL 2.5 onto my APM1 1280 using the latest version of mission planner.
I then managed to set up and connect it to X-Planes 9 and was able to fly some waypoint missions, and was very pleased with the performance.
I upgraded to the latest version of Arduplane HIL 2.6 but it will not now work, whenever I start the sim link on the simmulation configuration page of mission planner the RC radio link freezes and there is no communication from the RC to the mission planner. If I disconnect the sim link the RC link returns to normal and there is full radio communication with the radio set up planner.
So my question is how can I load the previous 2.5 HIL version of Arduplane firmware, as the mission planner has updated and only shows the current version i.e Arduplane HIL 2.6..
I've tried using older versions of the mission planner, but they are all automatically updated to show the latest version of the firmware.
Thanks
Martin

Just wanted to post an update with what seems to be a solution to our problem. I was finally able to get Mission Planner to work with X-Plane. (Thanks to some of the information here and help from my brother who programs for a living.) Using MP 1.2.3 and Arduplane v2.5. We used ardunio to modify and then upload v2.5 to the board. Below is a screen shot of the code we modified and what we did. After that everything worked as it was supposed to. This same process may work using v2.6. I may try that fix later on.
